★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,277 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $41

Review of the Cajón del Maipo tour from Santiago, with Andes views, El Yeso Reservoir, picnic, wine, mountain roads, and practical tips.

“Had an excellent time on this tour! Embalse el yeso is just so beautiful. We didn't mind all the other stops. (The coffee stop charges 5k per coffee cup, so we didn't buy.) The Choco House had amazing ice cream flavours. Our tour guide/driver was Francisco and he was a funny bloke who got us to our destinations safely. I like the fact that he didn't even ask for tips in the end. (He had to deal with a difficult passenger with a lot of attitude.) We enjoyed the added folkloric dancing in the end. Great value. 🌟👍 Get this tour and don't listen to the haters.”

“The tour in the vineyard was nice but short. The tour includes only one vineyard so the name should be changed. The driver did not speak any English, did not know how to tell us how much time we have left to browse in the store and what's the next stage. Lunch or back to the hotel ?! Its too expensive for such a short trip.”
